Cory Gets Confrontational

Disclaimer: I own nothing but what you see here.

As Cory looked towards the blonde girl who wanted to see something funny, he couldn't help but feel betrayed by the fact his brother's hormones had obviously got the best of him once again and let that over ride their bond as brothers. And if he was being honest here, the only thing funny about this entire situation was the outfit Shawn's date had on. Looking her in the eye, he began to speak. "Yeah… I'm no one's entertainment." And he'd sooner let himself get punched in the face by Harley Keiner then be treated like some piece of garbage who was only good for entertaining someone.

"Excuse me?" The girl asked somewhat offended that this little curly haired boy would dare to talk to her like that.

"You heard me, I'm no one's entertainment and I'm starting to feel real happy now that my supposed brother over here didn't ask me to do this double date."

"Cory!" Reprimanded Eric, who was not happy at the way things were going here.

"No Eric, I refuse to be treated like a little kid by someone who's own dress sense doesn't look all that impressive either."

"Hey, I think you need to show some respect here." Eric's girlfriend of the week cut in with a glare at him.

"If I wanted to look for attention, I would do something that would get me that. What I did with the water wasn't me looking for attention. That was just me having some fun. Something you obviously don't recognize."

Suffice it to say, Cory's temper was starting to get the best of him. The situation with Wendy Jansen was still bothering him and now he's got his own brother pulling this crap on him. He was pretty sure he'd never pull something like this on his brother. He couldn't even fault Shawn as his best friend had no idea since he'd obviously been lied too. The girlfriend of the week glared at him again, not that he was even phased by that since he'd been getting glares from the best of them like his own parents, Mr. Feeny, Mr. Turner, Harley and his goons. "I think you need to take yourself home and have a little time out or something little boy." She told him angrily.

Looking towards his brother for some kind of support who was looking rather lost. Cory could also see Shawn doing the smart thing by staying well out of the mess currently going on. "The fact you aren't saying anything hurts more than anything else Eric." Cory told him sadly and began to walk off.

"Wait… Cory!" Tried Eric but his little brother kept on going without even a look back as he went up the stairs. Making Eric feel like a ton of crap.

A long blonde haired girl was then seen running up the stairs afterwards as well. The girlfriend of the week simply shrugged her shoulders. "Well, now that that's over with we can get back to what we were doing before." The shocked look on Eric's face didn't bode well as he couldn't really believe what he'd just heard.

"Yeah, I totally agree. Who needs a baby like that anyway?" The blonde cousin added in and Shawn didn't like that one bit.

And it showed when he walked up those same steps. "Hey! Where are you going!?"

Looking down at her, Eric, and the black haired girl he told them he'd rather be anywhere else then here and then hauled butt. A clapping could be heard, making the three look to where it was coming from to see one Harley Keiner in his custom leather jacket, blue jeans, black boots, and white t-shirt with his hair slicked back like always. The sight of him, his two goons, and the little sister made Eric groan. "Oh no, you guys. My night's complete."

Harley walked up to him with a small smirk on his face though there was no feeling of amusement coming from it. "Terrific job Matthews, way to show that brotherly bond with Baboon there." Keiner told him sarcastically with another clap.

"Not even Harley would do that to me pal." Theresa added in with her arms crossed with a look that said she wasn't impressed at all. And while she wasn't dating Cory anymore, she still found him to be a great friend and this was not something he needed on his plate what with that Jansen mess and all. But the fact the girl in question went after Cory told her that all may not be lost after all.

Frankie could be seen cracking his knuckles and Eric had to back up a little at the sight. "Why, why do you guys even care? Aside from T.K., you three are pretty much always picking on him."

Harley had to nod at that as he clasped his hands together. "True, but even we have a certain limit to how low we will go. And what you did there Matthews made you the real Baboon. If I were to ever do such a thing to my dear sweet angelic sister I would have to allow Frankie to hurt me most painfully so." The big guy would probably cry his eyes out after but he'd do regardless.

Eric could only look down in shame as the two girls looked on and neither were terribly happy with how their night had been ruined. Satisfied with the end result, Harley gave a nod towards his group to get moving. "We will be taking our leave now, I wish you a most pleasant of nights." Not that it was likely to happen after this but hey, a little politeness never hurt right?

"Yeah, heh! Its probably gonna be very unpleasant for ya now Matthews!" Added Joey with a laugh as he and the others walked off. T.K. planned to call her favorite polite guy later to see how he was doing and maybe even get him a nice gift to help raise his spirits.

For Eric, this was going to be a situation he was going to have to never repeat again cause no girl was worth hurting his brother over.

Author's Notes: I think that's a perfect spot to end this one shot. And yeah it might have been childish but in the end, Cory was only having some fun and he shouldn't have been looked down on cause of that. Look forward to seeing what you all think!
